M1 Talks - Rove Walks (and maybe squealed)

M1 was wrong. Kinda wrong at least. Effwit was right. Completely right.
Top White House aide Karl Rove has been told by prosecutors he won't be charged with any crimes in the investigation into leak of a CIA officer's identity. -AP News

AND...

The special prosecutor's decision not to seek indictment of President Bush's chief political adviser and deputy chief of staff Karl Rove suggests two possibilities.

Perhaps Fitzgerald's release of Rove from further grand jury appearances is about the discrete matter of Rove himself. If Fitzgerald has repeatedly subpoenaed him for questioning only about his own tortuous story there may be no further reason for the prosecutor to continue his investigation. Then the letter to Rove's attorney ought to be swiftly followed by the grand jury's disbandment.

Second, Rove's escape from potential indictment may be the result of his extraordinary cooperation. If Fitzgerald's investigation has completely ended he should announce it soon and release the grand jury.

But if he makes no such statement, the inevitable conclusion would be that his investigation continues. In that case, it would be reasonable to assume that Rove has been a useful informant.
